After the four who had crossed the Tribulation First Layer returned to their Clan, they naturally faced severe punishment, as they had not killed Ling Tianyu. Despite having meticulously prepared and staged the entire operation, their failure inevitably led to punishment.
The four were of course not convinced, but failure was failure, what more could be done?
Given the current situation, their only option was to keep looking for solutions.
The Integration Ninth Layer elder and the four from the Crossing the Tribulation First Layer were from the He Family, an old Body Cultivation Clan, a very ancient family existence that had once been glorious.
Little did Ling Tianyu realize that the Body Cultivation Clan was in Haichong City, and he had once been very close to the He Family. Duan Yanran had once bought a Seaview Villa in Haichong City. The villa behind hers was purchased by the young master of the He Family, very close indeed, one could say.
